About Mike:
Mike is passionate about all things learning and development, especially leadership and management. Mike’s philosophy is a simple one, treat people well, involve them in decisions, create psychological safety, trust them and most importantly as a leader, be humble and authentic. Simple really!
Mike is the Co-Director of his own leadership, management and personal development training company and has worked in learning and development for over 25 years. He works with individuals at all levels, from employees through to first line managers and senior leaders. He loves working with his clients to create bespoke programmes that are challenging, engaging, but most of all memorable.
Mike’s mission is to help leaders and managers to close the gap between them and the team. He helps them to do this through sharing his own thoughts and experiences, plus delivering his material in a practical way so that everyone can relate to it and more importantly so that they can implement it back in the workplace.
Mike’s natural ability to put individuals at ease makes for an extremely enjoyable, stimulating and safe environment for all his clients to learn and perfect their new or enhanced skills. And It’s safe to say that with Mikes’ truly infectious personality, there’s never a dull moment when he’s around!
Mike has worked with clients across both public and private sectors. Some examples are Lancashire Constabulary, NHS, Wain Homes, Siemens, GMCA, Network Plus, Ocado, Chubb Fire & Security, Manchester City Council and My Dentist.
Outside of the training room Mike loves a walk in the hills and riding his mountain bike. He also likes a drop of red wine. Football is his other passion. For his sins he’s an avid Evertonian.
